TT Blue Sub date wheel color

I've looked at several TT Blue Subs and I noticed that the date wheel is a cream color. Is this the standard color since I would prefer a more true white wheel color.

Always been cream in colour (possibly to match up with the gold). The white date wheel can only be found on the SS Sub.

I dont know a Rolex which is golden or rolesium golden with steel which has white date wheel, it will be very ugly near the golden rotating bezel and bracelet.

JJ you should know better.

The colour of the date wheel is gold not cream!

Rolex may call the the color gold on the TT Sub, but it's not a very convincing shade of it.

Had the same question when I bought my TT sub. It is cream and was told from other members that it was to match up or fit better with the gold in the watch.

But looking at the TT GMT, cream or white both look good.

Aykun,

We are talking about the background colour of the datewheel on which you see the actual date.

As you can see above, the background is white on the new GMT-II, but on the Blue Sub it is cream or a dusty gold as some of these tossers prefer to call it!!
